Jade woke up with a slight feeling of anxiety. This was the big day, and she had to be at her best. She wouldn't let her thoughts run away with her today. She was going to tell Tori even if it was scary and there was a slight possibility that Tori actually did like Beck. It didn't matter because if she didn't, she would hate herself forever. It was going to be fine, all evidence pointed to Tori liking her back, so the negative thoughts in the back of her head would just have to be ignored. She wouldn't let them take over like she did yesterday. Even though she would be singing songs that she normally wouldn't be caught dead singing, it was all going to be okay. She just hoped Tori got the message she was trying to say in her songs. It didn't matter, she would make sure Tori knew about her feelings by the end of today no matter what because the potential of being with Tori was much greater than the potential downside of telling her and getting rejected or not telling her at all. With those last thoughts, Jade got up and out of bed to get ready for the day.

She smiled at herself in the mirror of her bathroom and after double-checking the she looked good in her outfit, she nodded her head, and strutted out of the bathroom and made her way downstairs. Cause really, she always looked good in her outfits. She had specifically worn a dress that Tori had complemented before, and it also just happened to have red flowers on the top part, which now matched perfectly with her hair. She had decided that she really liked the red, and she was going to dye some streaks into it permanently.

She could hear her mom in the kitchen as she made her way down the stairs, and was happy that she had finally had a talk with her. It was exactly what she needed, and she couldn't believe that she had forgotten how good it was to talk to her mother about the things she was struggling with. She walked into the kitchen and gratefully grabbed the cup of coffee that her mom handed her.

"How are you feeling this morning honey?"

"Better than yesterday. I'm still a little nervous, but I can do this. Tori is totally worth it."

"You're right about that one honey. She really makes you happy. I can tell." They smiled at each other, and then her mom handed her an apple.

"You better get going Jadelyn or you're going to be late. Just take some deep breaths, and remember that you'll be fine, and that she's going to love the songs you sing to her."

"I know. Thanks mom, I'll see you later!"

"Good luck!" Her mom yelled as Jade grabbed her keys and rushed out to her car.

The first thing Jade noticed when she walked into Hollywood Arts that morning was Tori talking to Beck. She vaguely remembered them talking about doing something today and she gritted her teeth at the smile she saw on Beck's face. He had his stupid flirty face on – the one that he always used when he wanted to get girls to go out with him. She rushed over to her locker, desperately trying to keep herself calm, and not read too much into the situation. She had just closed her locker door and was turning around to walk to her next class, but jumped when she saw Tori standing behind her.

"Jade? Could I um talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure Victoria. Um walk me to class?"

"Well since we have the same one… sure." She said it with a smile so Jade knew she was teasing. Jade relaxed a bit, realizing that Tori couldn't be completely mad at her for last night.

"I brought you your movies back, since you left so quick last night." Or maybe she was a bit mad. Jade gulped and sheepishly accepted the movies Tori was handing her, actually relieved to be getting them back since these were her favourite movies of all time.

"Thanks… about last night…. Look, I didn't really mean to run out so fast, and I know that you like Beck and all, but-"

"Jade! Would you stop saying I like Beck? You keep telling me who I like, and if I remember a conversation we had just yesterday correctly, you said something to me about not telling you how you feel. So please, stop assuming things and telling me how I feel."

"Right. Sorry about that. My mom told me not to do that too. I just forgot, and then this morning I saw you talking to him, and I guess I just jumped to conclusions." She stared at the ground, feeling like kicking herself for doing the exact thing she had just said she wouldn't. Ugh, she was still messing up. She just got so irrationally jealous sometimes, and with the uncertainty of what going to happen tonight, it was really hard for her to remain calm. She also knew that Beck really wanted Tori to go out with him.

"It's fine. Just so you know, Beck was going to help me with an acting scene today. I'm trying out for this musical and I needed someone to help me run lines. The opposite part is for a guy, so I figured Beck would be able to help the best." They had reached their classroom by that time and were just lingering outside the door now. Jade looked up at Tori then and noticed she was smiling at her, "um maybe we should continue this later…"

"Yeah, class is starting soon anyways, so I guess that's fine." Jade said and felt slightly relieved, suddenly feeling a little awkward and not knowing what to say.

"Okay good." They both walked in and took their seats.

Jade didn't see either Tori or Beck at lunch, but she didn't let that bother her, now knowing what they were really up to, and actually being happy that something more wasn't going on between them. She really should have known that all along though. Tori had the opportunity to go out with Beck before, and hadn't taken it so she wasn't likely to now. She was a little disappointed that Tori wasn't at lunch though, somehow missing her happy and bubbly personality. Lunch just seemed a bit quieter even though Cat was talking to Robbie non-stop. She realized that she just missed Tori. She really had it bad if she couldn't even go two hours without seeing Tori before missing her.

For some reason the rest of the day seemed to fly by and before Jade knew it, the end of the day came and she was walking out to her car. She was slightly in a daze, thinking all about how in a few hours she would be singing her heart out to Tori. Just as she was about to hop into her Mustang, she noticed Tori pacing while talking on her phone. She edged a bit closer, trying not to be too obvious about listening in to her conversation.

"Ugh Trina! Why would you leave without me? I told you I was just going to be two minutes! Why do you always do this to me?" She paused, clearly listening to whatever Trina was saying back.

"Walk home? Walk ho- Trina! Do you know how many creepers I could come across when I 'walk home'? Seriously, come and get me!" She noticed Tori's clenching her fists, clearly very mad at Trina now.

"I don't care what you're putting on your face right now! Come. Get. Me!" Tori had now stopped pacing, staring at her phone now.

"She hung up! That stupid gank hung up on me!" Tori was now talking to herself. Jade figured this would be the most opportune time to talk to Tori.

"Hey Victoria."

"Oh Jade. Didn't see you there."

"Yeah, um I heard a bit of the end of your conversation. You want a ride home?"

"You're offering me a ride home?"

"Yeah well, if you don't want it, that's fine. But you better hurry up and decide, I'm leaving right now." She started walking backwards to her car as she finished talking to Tori, then turned around smirking as she knew Tori would follow.

"Hey wait! Jade!"

"Come on then Victoria, I don't have all day."

"Okay, okay." She ran towards Jade, falling in to step with her as they walked towards Jade's car.

They both got in, and Jade pulled out of the parking lot, turning up the radio a bit as a song she liked came on.

"Um Jade, thanks for this. I know my house is kinda out of your way."

"Yeah well, it sucks that you have such an annoying and selfish sister, so… just don't tell anyone."

"Right… So, are you singing in the Moonlight Jam tonight?"

"I am."

"Yeah, me too."

"Great." Jade was feeling herself revert back to her usual ways with Tori, mostly because she didn't really know what to say. Tori made her unusually nervous. She wasn't even this nervous when she started dating Beck, and that was when they were actually on a date. She was just driving Tori home. She just didn't want to say the wrong things, noticing that the past few conversations with Tori didn't exactly go the way she hoped. She decided to break the silence a bit.

"Um yeah, I'm actually kind of nervous about tonight."

"Oh? Why would you be nervous? You're never nervous, you're Jade West."

"Yeah, well I do. Especially because of what's going to happen tonight."

"What's happening tonight?"

"Um I can't really tell you. Just make sure that you're there okay?"

"I already told you yesterday that I would be."

"Oh. Right… I remember." Jade didn't look at Tori the whole ride, really trying to keep her cool. She was relieved when they finally made it to Tori's house and she drove into Tori's driveway.

"Well thanks for the ride Jadelyn. By the way, I'm really glad you're going to be there tonight."

"Why?"

"Cause I'm singing a song for you." With that, Tori winked and exited the car, leaving Jade just staring at where she was, trying to process what Tori had just said. Shaking her head and bringing herself out of her trance, she reversed out of Tori's driveway, making her way towards her own house.

She walked into her quiet and empty house, remembering that her mom had to work late tonight and went up to her room where she flopped onto her bed. So, they were both going to be singing to each other tonight. She wondered what Tori's song was going to be about. She decided that she should just take a nap before she could over think anything, and to also pass the time in between now and when she would be singing faster. She made sure to set two alarms just in case and to give herself enough time to get ready.

When she woke up again she was feeling much more calm and also a little hungry. She found her mother had left a note for her on the kitchen counter telling her there was some food in the fridge she could warm up for her dinner. There was also a line of encouragement and an 'I love you Jadelyn' tagged to the bottom which Jade appreciated. Even though she had some major issues with her father and him accepting her, she could always count on her mother's support, but it didn't hurt to hear it every once in a while.

She heated up the food her mom had left and ate it while watching an episode of 1000 Ways to Die. Once it ended she got up to get ready, remembering she'd told Andre she'd help with some of the set up tonight. She was actually grateful that she had because it would provide a very welcome distraction until the time for her performance came. She made sure she had everything she needed, and then hopped into her car, glad that it was now dark out while she drove to Hollywood Arts. She was about five minutes away from the school when she noticed a display of flowers in front of a shop. She made a split second decision and pulled the car over right in front of the store. Tori would love some stupid romantic gesture like Jade giving her a rose, and even though it went completely against Jade's personality, she got out of her car to go buy her one. She even made sure to get one of those plastic-y things that had water in them to keep it fresh and so it wouldn't die before she could give it to Tori. Jade made sure to carefully place the flower on the seat next to her and drove the short distance to the school.

She walked into the Asphalt Café and noticed that Andre had already started hooking up all the mics and other instruments, and that they were just about ready for the sound check.

"Hey Jade! Thanks for coming early to help."

"Whatever. What needs to be done?" Andre didn't even blink at Jade's harsh tone and just replied in his usual happy manner.

"You actually came at the perfect time. We need to do a sound check, so would you mind starting with the mic's and then do the drums?" Andre was one of the few people that knew that Jade was actually quite good at the drums. It made her happy to be able to hit things, and if she could make music out of that, so much the better.

"Sure."

She started with the mic on the left, and then moved her way over, making sure she could hear each of them properly in the monitors on the stage. Nothing was worse than not being able to hear yourself or the other members of the band. It could make someone who usually sounded amazing go completely flat and be out of sync with the band, and could ruin a performance without the person performing even knowing. When she was done with all the microphones, Andre played the few guitars that were on stage, Sinjin taking over the sound booth. She set herself down in front of the drum set just as Andre finished with the last guitar. She checked to see that all the mics were properly set up for the drums as she played a beat and tested each drum and cymbal. She slipped down into a half time beat but something was just off. She motioned for Andre to grab her a mic so that she could talk to Sinjin.

"Okay this sounds horrible! I can't hear the drums in the monitor, turn me up a little."

"Sure, I would love to turn you up a little." Ugh why did Sinjin have to be so creepy? It was starting to frustrate her even more. The sound needed to be perfect for tonight.

"Just turn the drums up you mop-headed freak!" Sinjin and the rest of the geeky sound guys he had been smiling and giving high fives to, cringed and jumped back, doing exactly what she wanted. She rolled her eyes, and tested out the drums once more, a smile finally adorning her face at the sound coming out now.

"Okay Andre, I think we're good with everything then."

"Thanks so much Jade."

"Yeah whatever."

She wandered to the back of the stage, thinking about how her performance would go tonight. After making sure that everything was in order on the stage, she went back to her car, retrieving the rose she had bought for Tori. She wanted to put it backstage so that she could give it to Tori as soon as she was finished singing.

"Whatcha got there Jade?" Andre was looking at her curiously.

"None of your business!"

"Well, in any case, I'm sure Tori's gonna love it."

"Ugh. Why do you think it's for Tori?"

"She tell you she's singing a little somethin' for you tonight?"

"Um yeah. Why?"

"You'll see. Good luck with tonight Jade." She pretended not to be affected by Andre's words and didn't even answer him as she walked away to put the rose backstage for later. Now all she could think about was what Tori had planned for her. It didn't matter anyways, she would still be singing her songs for Tori regardless of what Tori sang to her.

Jade spent the time waiting for the Moonlight Jam to start by doing some vocal exercises. It was reinforced to her how important warming up her voice was when her cousin got diagnosed with nodes last year. So she made sure she always warmed up before a performance since she hoped to make singing part of her career one day. While she had been warming up, the Asphalt Café had progressively started filling up more and more. She sought Andre out to ask him when she would be performing. Unfortunately, she noticed him talking to Tori, and she felt a wave of nervous energy wash over her once again. She was torn because she wanted to know when she was performing, but she didn't think she could be around Tori before her performance. Seeing her also put a smile on her face however, so she steeled her nerves and put her head up as she walked up to them. Thank God she had had so much practice putting on an uncaring attitude and the fact that she was an actress didn't hurt either.

"Hey Andre, Victoria." She glanced at Tori and sent a smirk her way at the beaming smile she saw Tori had.

"Hey Jadelyn. You ready for tonight?"

"Yeah I think so. Actually, that's why I'm over here. Could you tell me when I'm on Andre?" She wondered if she would be singing before Tori or after.

"Sure Jade." He glanced down at the clipboard that Jade only just noticed he was holding. Actually it was really the first time she had really looked at him since walking up to the pair.

"You are on right at 11. Two songs right?"

"Yeah that's right."

"Hey that's perfect! You're on right after I am." It seemed Tori and Andre were sharing knowing glances, but she was too flustered to figure out why.

"Why is that perfect?"

"Oh you'll see." Tori winked at her. What?

"You two are both being secretive and weird." She walked away after that, looking for Cat to make sure she was ready for their performance. She had found the girl earlier that day and asked her to back her up for one of her songs. She had sung with Cat before, and their voices really worked well together, plus Cat could do some amazing things with her voice.

"Cat!" She yelled as she spotted the girl twirling in spot as she talked to Robbie.

"Jadey!"

"What have I told you about calling me that?" She angrily spit back.

"Umm I don't remember..." She narrowed her eyes at Cat, knowing that she knew very well what she had said, and that Jade hated that nickname.

"Whatever. I'll let it go this time, but only because you promised to help me with my performance. You remember everything for it right?"

"Yup!" Cat perkily replied. Jade just rolled her eyes at Cat's behaviour, not understanding how someone could be this perky all the time, and this late at night too.

"We're on at 11, right after Vega, so make sure you're back there and ready to go before she's done singing."

"Oh my God! That's perfect!"

"What is so perfect about me performing right after Tori?"

"Nothing!" Her reply was way too quick for her not to know something and the way Cat was squirming and looking anywhere but at Jade wasn't helping her case either.

"Cat." She said forcefully, knowing that Cat knew she wasn't playing around.

"I can't tell you. But you'll find out soon enough. Oh! Robbie's about to go on, so I need to go, I promised him I would watch."

"You can watch from here." Jade trailed off as Cat had already bounded away from her before she was finished her sentence. She sighed, once again finding herself alone and wondering what to do to distract her until the time to perform would come. She figured listening to the less talented people that were singing before her would be as good a way to pass time as anything and it would also serve to bring up her confidence, as she knew she could sing better than most of them. Robbie's performance was actually quite entertaining and funny, but decidedly quite weird, which was nothing new really for Robbie. That poor boy had had a crush on Cat for so long, and he was probably ecstatic that Cat was in the front row cheering him on right now, but if Jade's suspicions were correct, then he wouldn't be too happy for long. She was pretty sure Melissa and Cat had a thing for each other, and from the way both of them had been acting lately, it wasn't going to be too long before they would be together.

All of a sudden it was like time had just flown by, because the next thing Jade knew, Tori and Andre were smirking at each other as they both climbed up onto the stage. Jade found herself fidgeting and anxious, way too excited than she would care to admit for what Tori had planned for her. Tori confidently strutted up to the mic that was set up center stage, and beamed at the crowd, searching through it until she locked eyes with Jade.

"Hey everybody, how are you doing tonight?" The students in the crowd cheered and Tori's smile got even brighter, but that could have been because Jade was now smiling at Tori, always awed at the amount of confidence and stage presence Tori had.

"Great! I'm glad all of you are having a wonderful time tonight! I'm going to be singing this next song, backed up by the wonderful Andre Harris everyone." Tori turned to the side slightly and gestured to Andre, who bowed slightly as he stood at the keyboard.

"I wrote this one myself, and it's for a special someone." Tori once again locked eyes back with Jade, and followed her with her eyes as Jade moved closer towards the stage.

"I hope you all like it." She said it to the crowd, but it felt to Jade as if she had specifically said it to her. She nodded at Andre, who started playing as he beamed at Tori and Jade. Jade didn't really notice, because her focus was taken completely by Tori. Tori's voice was as beautiful as Jade knew it would be, but she made sure not to just get caught up in that, but to really listen to the lyrics Tori had written to her.

The situation turned around,

enough to figure out

That someone else has let you down,

so many times

I don't know why

But I know we can make it,

As long as you say it

She saw a flicker of nervousness in Tori's eyes as she led into the chorus, but she never broke eye contact with Jade.

So tell me that you love me, yeah

And tell me that I take your breath away

And maybe if you take one more, then I would know for sure

There's nothing left to say,

So tell me that you love me anyway

Even if she had never told Tori what it was she exactly wanted, Tori was telling her right now herself and it seemed they were on the same page. Jade was now gaining more confidence about the songs she was about to sing back to Tori.

So tell me that you love me anyway

Whoa ohhh oh

Waking up beside yourself,

and what you feel inside

Is being shared with someone else,

nowhere to hide,

I don't know why

But I know we can make it,

As long as you say it

So tell me that you love me, yeah

And tell me that I take your breath away

And maybe if you take one more, then I would know for sure

There's nothing left to say,

So tell me that you love me anyway

Show me, look what we found, turn it around every day

I can hear what you say

Now I know why, know we can make it

If you tell me that you love me, yeah

And tell me that I take your breath away

And maybe if you take one more…

So tell me that you love me, yeah

And tell me that I take your breath away

Maybe if you take one more, then I would know for sure,

there's nothing left to say,

but tell me that you love me anyway

By the end of the song, Jade could feel how much Tori was trusting in her and how much she believed in her and their potential relationship. Jade wasn't going to let her down. She had given a beaming smile to Tori as she walked past her switching places with the Latina. She still couldn't believe that Tori had written that song just for her, and it was such a beautiful one too. Andre's vocals really blended in well with Tori's.

She glanced behind her as she walked towards the mic, noticing Cat backstage, ready to come on for her second song. She beamed at Jade and gave her a thumbs up, and Jade gave a small smile back, gathering her courage for what she was about to do. Her first song was far from what she would have been caught normally singing, but it said what Jade needed it to, so Jade was ready to sing it anyways. Looking out into the crowd, she easily found Tori smiling back at her, and that was all she needed to forget the rest of the people in the crowd, and just sing her heart out to the one person that mattered.

"Um I didn't write this one myself, but hopefully this says what I need it to." She pointedly stared at Tori, hoping she knew it was for her. "oh, and Cat Valentine will be backing me up for my second song."

She closed her eyes and nodded, the band starting up soon after.

I told myself today was gonna be the day,

no more excuses cause I knew exactly what to say.

Was gonna make my play, but just like yesterday,

my mind erased,

and I let the moment slip away.

Another night I'll be sitting here all on my own,

picking up the phone,

but I can't get past the dial tone.

Racking my brain, going insane,

again and again, I can't keep going this way.

Crushed

by the sweetest lips I've never kissed.

And your fingertips and the warmest touch that I've always missed.

Crushed

by the softest hands I've never held.

Probably never tell, you're the strongest love that I ever felt.

Crushed

that I haven't ever let you know

How it always goes

Cause I lose my nerve whenever you get close.

And so I'm left, short of breath, with that heavy feeling in my chest.

Baby I'm so crushed.

So I tell myself that tomorrow's gonna be the day

and I keep on telling myself that I'm gonna find a way.

And I won't be afraid just like yesterday,

won't walk away, never gonna let another chance slip away.

Cause I've got to know, whichever way it's gonna go,

rest my heart and soul, cause there can never be no more.

Racking my brain, going insane,

again and again, I won't keep going this way.

Crushed

by the sweetest lips I've never kissed.

And your fingertips and the warmest touch that I've always missed.

Crushed

by the softest hands I've never held.

Probably never tell, you're the strongest love that I ever felt.

Crushed

that I haven't ever let you know

How it always goes

Cause I lose my nerve whenever you get close.

And so I'm left, short of breath, with that heavy feeling in my chest.

Baby I'm so crushed.

Crushing, I'm so into you,

don't know what I'm gonna do,

gotta find a way to you.

I don't know just what to do.

Crushing, I'm so into you,

Don't know what I'm gonna do,

gotta find a way to you.

Oh I'm Crushing, I'm so into you,

Don't know what I'm gonna do,

Gotta find a way to you.

And so I'm left, short of breath, with that heavy feeling in my chest.

Baby, I'm so crushed

Cat quickly came out to the stage as the music faded, and Jade was grateful. This next one was a lot more upbeat and she was hoping Tori would know it was a bit of an apology about the past week and that it was simultaneously answering Tori's own song to her. Cat smiled at her once again, motioning she was ready, and Jade flicked a hand behind her back, the band starting up once again.

Oh hohhhh woah oh

Let me tell ya now,

Ooooh mmmhhhmmm

When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around

Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd

But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took

Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

Oh baby, give me one more chance

(To show you that I love you)

Won't you please let me

(back in your heart)

Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go

(Let you go, baby)

But now since I see you in his arms

(I want you back)

Yes I do now

(I want you back)

Ooh ooh baby

(I want you back)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

(I want you back)

Na na na na

Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night

Let me show you girl, that I know wrong from right

Every street you walk on, I leave tearstains on the ground

Following the girl I didn't even want around

Let me tell ya now

Oh baby, give one more chance

(To show you that I love you)

Won't you please let me

(back in your heart)

Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go

(Let you go, baby)

But now since I see you in his arms ohh oh

All I want...

All I need...

All I want!

All I need!

Oh, just one more chance

To show you that I love you

Baby (baby) baby (baby) baby!

(I want you back)

Forget what happened then

(I want you back)

And let me live again!

Oh baby, I was blind to let you go

But now since I see you in his arms

(I want you back)

Spare me of this cause

(I want you back)

Give me back what I lost!

Oh baby, I need one more chance, ha!

I tell you that I love you

Baby, (oh!) Baby, (oh!) Baby, (oh!)

I want you back!

I want you back!

The crowd was up and cheering by the end of the song, but Jade could only see Tori and the wonderful smile that was on her face. She barely noticed when Cat left the stage only to reappear moments later, placing the rose in her hand with a small smirk. That shook Jade out of her daze, and she made her way down the stage towards where Tori was still standing.

"Um... hey Victoria."

"Jadelyn." Tori's eyes had a spark in them, and Jade just about couldn't breathe with how beautiful she looked right now in the moonlight.

"I got you this." She handed the rose over to Tori, and then stared at her feet, her nerves rising once again at the thought of what Tori would think about her gesture.

"It's beautiful Jade, just like you. Thank you." She looked up to see Tori still smiling at her and tenderly holding the rose.

"Do I have to say it? Or did you get it from my songs?"

"No I got it, but it would still be nice to hear it from you." Tori encouragingly said to her. "But if you want, I can say it first." Jade looked up to her gratefully, still having trouble expressing her feelings.

"I love you Jadelyn. And I would really like it if you would be my girlfriend." Jade's eyes widened, even though it was what she had hoped the outcome of the evening would be, she didn't think Tori would just come out and say it like that. It seemed so easy for her, and she was barely nervous up on the stage earlier too.

"I uh I love you too Vic. And I would love nothing more than to be your girlfriend." Tori barely let her finish her sentence before her lips were crashing into Jade's and despite the fact that she had told Cat that when they kissed it wouldn't be like the movies, it actually was. Jade felt like there were fireworks going on around them, and she smiled into the kiss, still not believing that this wonderful girl in front of her felt the same way as she did. They pulled away, just gazing into each others eyes.

"Hey Jade?"

"Uh yeah?"

"Did you just call me Vic?"

"Um… yes?"

"Okay."

"What?"

"It's just kinda nice. You're the only one who's ever called me that."

"Well I like it, and it was getting too annoying to have to say your full name all the time, although, it's a very beautiful name. I just think saying my girlfriend's name is Vic sounds much more bad ass than Tori." Tori's face lit up when she said the word girlfriend, and Jade had to admit, that it gave her heart a little jump to be able to finally call Tori that.

"What? That's ridiculous Jade."

"No it's not Vic. Come on, you love it."

"Okay fine I do. But then I get to call you Jadey. Cause then people will think you're all sweet."

"No!"

"Aww come on! Why not?"

"Babe, I'm not letting you call me that in public. I hate that nickname."

"Fine, I'll call you it when we're not in public, but I'll just find a better one for you then."

"But I like when you call me Jadelyn. It's just you and my mom that does it."

"Well I guess that's okay, since I do really like your name." They smiled at each other then, and it wasn't too long before they were kissing again, and Jade still wasn't used to the fact that she could do this now whenever she wanted. They finally broke apart, and Jade found herself with a permanent smile as she held Tori's hand and watched a few more performances. Before long though, she was getting bored. None of these people were as amazing as Tori was, or Jade for that matter, so she decided she wanted to leave.

"Hey, you want to come back to my house Vic? I'm sure my mom would love to know the news. You can even sleep over, and I'll take you to school tomorrow." She looked hopefully at her girlfriend beside her and Tori just smiled back, squeezing her hand.

"I would love to. Can we just stop at my house before we go? I want to grab some clothes for tomorrow and tell my parents where I am."

"Of course. Let's go now though, I can't stand to watch anymore of these performances."

"Why not? Aren't they up to your standards?" Tori said with a teasing tone.

"None of them are as good as you, obviously, so no. I'd rather spend my time with just you anyways." Tori smiled at that, and they both walked towards the parking lot, waving at Andre and Cat when they walked past them. They both had smirked at them when they looked at Jade and Tori's intertwined fingers. Just before she got to her car, Jade noticed Beck slumped in the corner with a sour look on his face and she turned to look at him fully. He glared at Jade but she just smirked back, happy that everything worked out the way she wanted. Tori tugged on Jade's hand, and she realized that she had actually stopped.

"Hey babe, why are you not walking?"

"Oh um, just saw Beck. He didn't seem too pleased that we were holding hands."

"Well, he'll get over it. I've already told him that I just want to be friends, and he had no chance anyways, so he really shouldn't be mad. Now, let's go! I want to watch a movie with you or something."

"Or something?" Jade smirked both at the words, and the fact that Jade had warned Beck that he had no chance, and she was right.

"Yeah, or something."

"Let's go then."

"Finally!" Jade rolled her eyes, pulling Tori closer to her as they made their way once again to Jade's Mustang. She opened the passenger side door for Tori, giving her a quick kiss before moving over to her own side. They happily held hands as Jade drove away from Hollywood Arts and towards Tori's house both so happy with the way the night went.
